The leading denim ingredient brand ISKO made its return to Copenhagen Fashion Summit and presented a one-of-a-kind technology where responsible fabrics, the result of a unique mindset valuing the planet and its people, could be listened to for the very first time.

The Denim Sound Textures installation, which presented 10 unexpected interpretations of denim to celebrate 10 years of Copenhagen Fashion Summit, stood out as the first immersive, interactive experience introducing the surprising, multi-sensorial aspects of the much-loved fabric. Ten denim sculptures provided a 360° journey through ISKO’s most famous technologies, each represented by the various “sounds of denim” extracted from the fabrics. Chiara Luzzana wrote and carried out the DENIM SOUNDSCAPE project.

By touching the fabrics on display Summit participants released the sounds featured in the new, innovative ISKO Touch, a textile interface that captures users’ touches to generate control commands. The technology is useful for a variety of applications on fabrics, ranging from, for example, sounds and lights in automobiles and mobile phones.

ISKO’s Responsible Innovation
This interactive event was the result of ISKO’s focus on innovating through the unlimited possibilities of denim. The underlying ongoing technical, aesthetic and functional research process served as its leading force, highlighting the core values of the company: competence, creativity, and social and environmental responsibility. The exhibition’s advanced denim technologies, designed and developed by ISKO over the years, adhered to the company’s rigorous Responsible Innovation approach. Overall the company’s innovation assets count over 20 patents, more than 100 trademarks and 100+ patents pending worldwide.

The DENIM SOUNDSCAPE project represents one of the many forms that ISKO’s Responsible Innovation can take. Pioneering responsibility in the denim industry since the start, ISKO stands out as the first denim manufacturer to apply life cycle assessments to all of its 25,000+ products and to receive pre-certified Environmental Product Declarations®. ISKO is also paving the way for the creation of product category rules, a step that will introduce standardised assessments for denim across the fashion industry for the first time ever.
